Chapter 220 is a great reward
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary grassroots, where did he enjoy this kind of honor of being welcomed by thousands of people?
No wonder so many people like heroes, worship heroes, and admire heroes, it turns out that the taste of being a hero is so dreamy!
All the fatigue, suffering, sacrifice, forbearance, in this moment, all released!
Although there were many onlookers, everyone obeyed the order, so the road was kept open, and no one jumped over the fences on both sides of the road at will, hindering the progress of the procession. So they're not slow at all.
According to the custom, the soldiers who returned triumphantly were greeted at the triumphal arch of the palace. Therefore, the section from the west gate to the triumphal arch was full of people, and the Holy Emperor led the civil and military ministers of the empire to stand in front of the triumphal arch and wait happily.
Before Song Li sent to Qiongzhou, no one including the Holy Emperor was completely sure. After all, Song Li is too young, and Tian Wujin's reputation is so big, what kind of difficulties he is about to face, he can think of it with his little fingernails.
The pro-Song faction led by the Holy Emperor naturally pinched a cold sweat for him, while the anti-Song faction led by Prince Zhong naturally hoped that he would be defeated and lost, and he would not even be able to get a single hair back.
But Song Li came back safely, not only safely, but also far beyond their expectations.
He actually brought back the Ugin Stone!
The Holy Emperor sighed that he had dug up a treasure, this little guy Song Li not only had an amazing talent for alchemy, but also had such a strong ability to do things, and there must be a place for him in the future power center of the empire. And Prince Zhong was pale, like a mourner. Song Qiuhan led 500 base dead soldiers, such a powerful force, he actually returned from the Shitilan Desert! This simply made Prince Zhong crazy!
Prince Zhong felt that his son was the best talent in the world, so why couldn't he fight Song Li?
"It's coming, it's coming!" Song Xinghai, the king of Ming, was full of joy and reminded everyone that the team had entered the line of sight.
Far away, Song Xinghai saw his son sitting on a war horse, his eyes were hot, and tears almost flowed.
Good son, you have finally returned safely, if you don't come back, your mother won't let my father and me go to bed!
Today coincides with Yun Lin's retreat for alchemy, otherwise, she, a mother who loves her son like her life, would definitely run out to greet her son as soon as possible.
The triumphal arch was in front of him, and Song Li and the brothers of the Golden Feather Knight Battalion saw the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and saw the Holy Emperor. They didn't expect the Holy Emperor to come out to greet him in person, this was the highest level of courtesy in the empire! This was only eligible to be enjoyed when the army had won a big battle, and they had more than 500 people who actually enjoyed the highest standard of etiquette in the empire!
Every Golden Feather Knight knew in his heart that these were the faces of Lord Song, the Governor of the Nine Counties. They followed and stained it together.
After the team entered the triumphal arch, thirty meters away from the high platform where the Holy Emperor and others were, all the golden-feathered knights jumped off their horses, and fell to the ground with a brush, but Song Li stood proudly and bowed his hand. He is the Holy Emperor's stand-in, presiding over the Lion King's order, so there is no need to kneel to the Holy Emperor.
Song Li said loudly: "Song Li, the governor of the nine counties, led the soldiers of the Golden Feather Knight Battalion to return from Qiongzhou. With the blessing of His Majesty, the ministers were fortunate to live up to their lives, and successfully brought the Ugin Stone back to the imperial capital, and specially replied to His Majesty, long live the Holy Emperor, long live long live!"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" the more than five hundred guards of the Golden Feather Knight Battalion shouted in unison.
"Very good, great! Song Aiqing really lived up to expectations, this time he has made a great contribution!" The Holy Emperor smiled and walked down the steps, followed by the ministers of civil and military affairs behind him. The Holy Emperor held Song Li's shoulders with both hands, and said with his chin bowed: "It's good, it's really good, I finally didn't mistake you!"
Song Lining was single-handedly picked up by the Holy Emperor, and he had to send him to Qiongzhou under the persecution of Prince Zhong and others, but in fact, Song Xingtian had no bottom in his heart. Now that Song has returned with great success, the Holy Emperor is greatly relieved, and at the same time, he also feels that there is light on his face.
Song Li and the Holy Emperor looked at each other, and both of them smiled slightly, everything was silent.
"Everyone, get up, this trip has been hard for you, and later I will bury the soldiers who died and show mercy to their families. The heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country will be remembered by the people forever! Those who come back alive will be rewarded heavily!" The Holy Emperor waved his hand, and the brother of the Golden Feather Knight Battalion shouted thanks and stood up.
"Your Majesty, all the black gold stones have been transported back, please send someone to accept them. Song Li made a gesture, and several golden feather knights pushed the three carts out.
The Holy Emperor nodded, this is not because he distrusts Song Li, but it is a necessary procedure, only after acceptance, can it be returned to the treasury.
The treasury of the Holy Lion Empire is divided into two parts, and ordinary money and grain are in charge of the household department, but there is a separate internal treasury for important national treasures such as the Ugin Stone, which has special significance. This treasury is in the hands of the treasurer appointed by the Holy Emperor, who is only responsible to the Holy Emperor, and the Tobe Shoshu does not have the right to transfer the national treasures in the internal treasury.
The Holy Emperor beckoned, and the treasurer of the treasury came out from behind with a team of guards, and Miller greeted him, handing the treasurer the book of the registration of the Ugin Stone to the treasurer.
With a blank expression, the chief treasurer asked his guards to open the car door and check the size, shape, and weight recorded in the register, piece by piece. When Miller first registered, he put a number on each stone to facilitate verification.
Taking advantage of the gap between the people from the internal affairs treasury to check the Wujin Stone, Song Xinghai, the king of Ming, walked out from behind the Holy Emperor, came to the front, and gave his son a big hug, although in full view of everyone, he couldn't care so much!
"Li'er, you're back. If it drags on for a few more days, Dad, I won't be able to live!" Prince Ming's resentful tone made Song Li feel both amused and warm.
It is completely conceivable that during Song Li's mission to Qiongzhou, his mother Yun Lin must not have given his father a good face.
"I'm about to be strangled by you...... Are you trying to murder your parents, or am I actually the child you bogged up?" Song Li couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Scared?" Song Xinghai hurriedly let go of his hand, then knocked on Song Li's head, and scolded: "This bear child, what nonsense, of course I am your father." ”
"Daddy, what are you doing with so much effort? I almost didn't get strangled to death by you. ”
"Aren't I excited for a while...... Song Xinghai said with a smile: "You kid deliberately blocked me, didn't you?
Although the father and son tease each other on the surface, the father-son relationship between the two is so strong that it is almost inseparable. Even the Holy Emperor couldn't help but envy him, although his status was respected, his relationship with his children was far less intimate and casual. Sometimes there is no way to do it, if you want the country, you have to give up some happiness that ordinary people can easily get.
"King Ming gave birth to a good son, and the lower officials and others are very envious. Wen Liren, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Yin Xiangying, the imperial capital of the imperial capital, also came over and praised Song Li one after another. These two people can also be regarded as the hardcore political allies of the Ming Palace. Song Xinghai, Wen Liren, and Xiang Ying are the iron triangle that the Holy Emperor relies on. Now, perhaps, Song Li will be added.
Pang Shangshu and others also came over to congratulate them, but the other force led by Prince Zhong watched coldly, and the struggle between the two sides had entered a white-hot stage, even the polite hypocrisy on the surface was saved.
Prince Rao is Zhong's city is extremely deep, and when he saw Song Lichun's proud appearance, he couldn't help but turn pale.
Before Song Li sent to Qiongzhou, they had already succeeded in making him a life and death situation. Prince Zhong thought that the plan would succeed, and he was fully sure that Song Li would return in Qiongzhou, and then force the Holy Emperor to kill Song Li in the court. not only got rid of Song Li, the thorn in his side, but also disintegrated the political alliance between the Holy Emperor and the Ming Palace, killing two birds with one stone.
Unexpectedly, his son Song Qiuhan was not angry, and with 500 dead soldiers in the base, he still couldn't fight Song Li. Let Prince Zhong be disappointed and angry. If it was not his son but another person who carried out this mission, he would definitely kill that person's entire family, no, destroy his three clans!
It has to be said that all along, they have looked down on their opponents. They all felt that Song Li was young and a little tender. But think about it carefully, in the past year, every major event in the court seems to have his figure, and he has never missed! Especially this time, in the face of so many enemies eyeing him, Song Li only led a thousand golden feather knights, and he was able to complete the task beautifully, just this ability, not to mention the young people of the imperial capital, even if they were old foxes, how many of them dared to pat their chests and say that they could do the same beautifully?
If he is not vigilant at this point, then Prince Zhong is not worthy of being the number one enemy of the Holy Emperor. He felt that Song Li should be re-examined. At the very least, he must no longer be seen as a stinking child. Instead, he should be promoted to an opponent of the same level!
At this time, the acceptance of the Ugin Stone had been completed, and the treasurer of the Treasury of the Interior Treasury stepped forward to report to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, saying that not only the total number was correct, but that the size, weight, and shape of each stone had not deviated in the slightest. (http://)。
The Holy Emperor Long Yan Dayue, even if he didn't believe in Song Li, he absolutely believed in the loyalty of the Golden Feather Knights to him. With Miller and the supervision of the masters, Song immediately wanted to be greedy for a few meteorites and did not have this opportunity. He sent so many masters, in the name of protecting Song Li, how could he not have the intention of overseeing?
This is the emperor's mental technique, even if he admires Song Li again, he hopes that everything is under his control. In other words, if you have made a great contribution, I will give you a large basket of meteorites and it will be fine, but you can't secretly take it behind my back. Although the black gold stone is precious, he doesn't necessarily care much about giving it away, what he cares about is his own control.
I don't know that Song Li's skills are not something anyone can imagine at all, before the yellow sand and high temperature have not yet been scattered, he has already entered the crater, not only took the black gold stone, but also made a magic weapon. There is nothing registered at all, and even if the director of the treasury finds out that he is dead here, where can he find out any problems?
